Heat the Pan
In a large skillet or cast iron pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Cook the Steak
Carefully place the steaks in the hot pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them to develop a nice crust.

Flip and Add Flavor
Flip the steaks and if using, add garlic cloves, rosemary, and butter to the pan. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, basting with melted butter.

Check Doneness
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, it should be 130-135°F (54-57°C). Adjust cooking time as necessary for desired doneness.
